Diagnosis
. The male of this species is somewhat similar to those of
Stactobiella parallelica
Zhou
et al
. 2016
and
S. mutica
Zhou
et al
. 2016
, described from south-eastern
China
, in having widely curved inferior appendages, but is clearly distinguished from the latter by presence of long ventro-lateral appendages.
Adult
. In males, wings and antennae brown; forewings each
1.5 mm
long and hind wings each
1.2–1.3 mm
long (n=3); antennae each 18-segmented,
0.6 mm
long (n=1). Males with short ventral process on abdominal segment VII.
Male
(
Fig. 4
). Segment IX shorter than segment VIII, with pair of long anterior apodemes; with lateral processes posteriorly and rounded ventral sclerite postero-mesally. Segment X membranous, subrectangular. Subgenital plate heavily sclerotized, thick, strongly curved ventrad. Ventro-lateral appendages directed dorso-posterad basally, gently curved ventro-mesad at proximal 2/3, acute apically in lateral view; in ventral and dorsal views, almost semicircular in shape with broad middle parts and acute apices. Inferior appendages plate-like, each with ventral quadrate lobe in ventral view, broadly bar-shaped in lateral view; few long and many short setae marginally. Aedeagus almost straight, gradually tapered distally, tiny cleft apically.
